Terminal Commands
There are three commands which can be sent when the Bird Antenna Monitor is
connected to a terminal.
“T”
The “T” command will cause the unit to echo a single measurement. The format
is:
nnn.n,nn.nnXX<CR><LF>
That is, three digits of forward power, a decimal point, a fourth digit of forward
power, a comma, followed by two digits of reverse power, a decimal point, and
two digits of reverse power.
The first character following will be “A” if an alarm has been triggered until the
alarm is reset, and will be blank if there is no alarm. The second character will be
“0” if “Alarm on Zero Power” is disabled, and “1” if “Alarm on Zero Power” is
enabled.
“C”
The “C” command will cause the unit to echo measurements repeatedly. The
format is identical to the “T” command. The “C” command can be interrupted at
any time by sending the “T” command.
“A”
The “A” command will reset the alarm. If an alarm condition is still present, the
alarm will turn back on after being reset.
